Traffic has been limited since mid July in order to reduce traffic and pollution. On odd days, cars with odd numbered plates can drive and even days, cars with even numbered plates.

Cars officially tied to the Olympics can drive any day and they also have a special lane on all the main roads that are restricted to only Olympic cars. Leave it to the Chinese to try to figure out a way around the restriction and get it not quite right...
